q2 i? Children reporting more average daily academic success and less average daily failure during the four-week period received better Grade 5 grades, controlling for Grade 4 grades; achievement goals no longer accounted for unique variance after these controls. → Neubauer 2022

Evidence¶

Neubauer 2022¶

Neubauer, A. B., Schmidt, A., Schmiedek, F., & Dirk, J. (2022). Dynamic Reciprocal Relations of Achievement Goals with Daily Experiences of Academic Success and Failure: An Ambulatory Assessment Study. https://osf.io/gfvja/?view_only=b87fe179cf134471948726cb0e482a80

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Exploratory regression predicting Grade 5 grades from Grade 4 grades plus averaged daily reports; prior achievement explained 23.2% of variance, rising to 31.7% with goals added. Success and failure added further prediction ("b = .317, p = .001"). No standardized effect size printed.

"Children who reported more academic success, b = .317, p = .001, and less academic failure, b = -.244, p < .001, during the four-week observation period reported better grades at the end of Grade 5."
